I am a retired Philosophy teacher who taught at Monterey Peninsula College, California. I will be sharing here my thoughts on various philosophical topics and issues of living. Any comments and feedback will be appreciated.

If you are still visiting this blog, thank you.
Unless something else distracts me, I will be visiting these pages from
time to time.

Also please know that after waiting for
some years to see if some publisher might be interested in publishing my
book (I tried various), I have self-published my book and it is now
available on as both a print-on-demandpaperback and a Kindle e-book on Amazon.com.

The Title of the Book now is:

Being Yourself

Essays on UG Krishnamurti and Related Topics

It
looks like this blog is a better way of communicating (expressing
myself, at any rate) than through books. It all started when I noticed
someone else put up UG's books (of excerpts) on Kindle; I thought why I
couldn't I do the same with my book. Once I did that, I found there is
an opportunity to self-publish the book as print-on-demand. And I did
that.

There is something to be said about putting the
book out as a paperback: it's something you have in your hand and a lot
of people would prefer that than trying to read it on a tablet or
computer. If you got the book printed at a local print shop I don't
think it will cost less than that. So there is my pitch!

In
the final proof I have eliminated a couple of chapters from the earlier
version of the book: one on the Mind-Body problem and the other on
Other Minds. I thought they would detract one from the main theme of
the book and in the final reading they didn't seem philosophically sound
enough.

Of course, if you happen to read it, feel free to pass on your comments.

You will find my e-mail address at the end of the book.

Also my homepage address has changed: it is now: www.narayanamoorty.net
